Abstract

Introduction: To date, no data have been reported on the demographics of implants placed in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The aim of this study was to collect data systematically from implant records and construct a database to improve access to them.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive study, all the patient records were reviewed from September 2012 to September 2016. The data in the records was extracted in terms of the demographic medical history, surgical, prosthetic and follow-up factors. Finally, data were analyzed with SPSS 23, using descriptive statistical methods.
Results: A total of 640 patients have received 1890 dental implants, with 70.5% of the implants placed in the 41‒70-year age group and the greatest number of implants inserted in the posterior mandible (37.2%) and the first molar region. Bone augmentation procedures were performed in 50.5% of implants, with the highest incidence in the anterior maxilla. The most commonly used bone material was Cerabone and the most commonly used membranes were Osseoguard and Cytoplast.  In addition, the most commonly used implant brand was Zimmer. Regarding dimensions of the implants, a diameter of 4.1 mm and a length of 12 mm were most often utilized. Bone-level implants (59.5%) were used more frequently than tissue-level implants (40.5%).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that the majority of patients referring to the Implant Department of Isfahan Dental School are over 50 years of age and bone augmentation techniques are also used in over 50% of cases. 
Key words: Dental implant, Dental record, Implant-supported dental prosthesis.
